Flow control
From cppreference.com
All programming languages provides some way to control the order the program is executed. Usually the following flow control primitives are provided:
- Conditional statements: a set of statements is executed only if a condition is met
- Loops: a set of statements is executed zero or more times
- Jumps: the program is continued at a different statement
- Functions: a set of statements adapted for reusability
In this section we will discuss the first three. Functions are discussed in functions.
The C++ language provides the following control flow statements:
- Conditional statements: if and switch statements.
- Loops: for, while and do-while loops.
- Jumps: break, continue and goto statement.
